Independiente, who after achieving some good results lost to Arsenal, must recover the confidence lost against a Lanús that tries to get closer to the top positions, in one of tomorrow’s matches for the 18th. Professional League date.
The match will begin at 8:30 p.m., at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini stadium, with Hernán Mastrángelo as referee, VAR by Lucas Novelli and television by TNT Sports.
The arrival of Ricardo Zielinski revitalized “Red” and the team added some positive results, such as the wins against Belgrano and Tigre and the away draw against Argentinos Juniors, but on the last date they suffered a severe setback against Arsenal in Sarandí (2- 1).
The blow suffered by Independiente was not only due to the adverse result, perhaps the regression in terms of the level of play was harder, which was disappointing.
With Zielinski, a team with a certain intensity and tactical order was observed, but in Sarandí Independiente was seen again, which forced the dismissal of Leandro Stilitano and a forgettable interim period for Pedro Damián Monzón, without ideas, fragile in defense and mentally.
Precisely that renewed confidence will try to recover Independiente before its demanding fans because the 17 points it has in the table place it only five from Unión, the last of the LPF and which is descending.
Lanús, directed by Frank Kudelka, has 28 units and is three behind Talleres, which is in the qualifying zone for the next Copa Libertadores.
“Granate” obtained nine of the last 12 points and has players with “good footing” like the Colombian Raúl Loaiza, Pedro De la Vega, an all-rounder like Tomás Belmonte, added to a mature central defender like Cristian Lema and a goalscorer from Leandro Diaz level.
In addition, in recent times, Lanús has become one of the most difficult rivals for Independiente, who has not beaten him for seven games with three wins for “Garnet” and four draws.
But history shows that Independiente far surpasses its opponent tomorrow after 137 matches, with 61 victories for Avellaneda’s team and 33 for Lanús and 43 draws.
